Small scene tells big story

December 01, 2004

A Moravian Putz nativity scene is on display at the Jonathan Hager House in City Park during its German Christmas celebration. Traditionally, nativity scenes took up a whole room and an object was hidden somewhere in the scene. It was thought that after looking for the hidden object, viewers would have a better understanding of the scene's true meaning. The German Christmas celebration continues through Sunday, Jan. 2. Hours at Jonathan Hager House are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday. The museum will be closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
